Mutton Biryani

 

This mutton biryani is a great option for those times when you need to make your Friday feast extra special.

In our recipe we’ve used Currymia Frozen Bone In Mutton Cubes and Daawat Devaaya Basmati Rice, which we got from one of our partners Standard & Origin (S&O).

Currymia Frozen Bone In Mutton Cubes has a fresh, clean smell and when cooked, it’s not rubbery at all. Daawat Devaaya Basmati Rice is long, fluffy and aromatic making it ideal for dishes like biryani.

 

Serves: 2

 

Ingredients:

For the rice

  • 2/3 cup rice
  • 1 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cardamom pods
